Access roll ups have been good to me. This truck is on its third bed, but still the same Access tonneau cover.

Rough Country has a nice black powder coated aluminum slat roll up. Cool cover. My son is getting it for his new Sierra. Seems like a nice compromise from a soft roll up or a hard flip up. He didn't like the idea of having it block the back window when flipped up.

Will update once we install it. $900.

The liberal mind is an endless black hole of stupidity.

The exact same cover that I have. It's been on two trucks for what has now been 10 years. Cold doesn't bother it when rolling it up. It was 23 degrees when I loaded up for a dump run today.

In theory yes. In the real world you'll need pretty accurate measurement devices to figure out the fraction of 1 mpg you'll save. The fuel savings will never come close to paying for the cost of the cover.

A tonneau cover would be in the way more than it would help me. I've tried them and prefer a cap. A good fiberglass tonneau isn't much cheaper than a cap and the roll up ones don't last long. It's pretty rare for me to find something that won't fit and if it doesn't fit in the bed it's a lot easier to load in the utility trailer anyway.


Most people don't really want the truth.

They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.

Bakflip MX4 on my F150. Strong, secure, looks good, keeps stuff dry except a few drops.
